fight back against the "left wing extremists" she claims have taken over Britain's institutions.
She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.
[Mogg] declared the death of "Davos man" - members of the global and political elite who descend on a Swiss ski resort every year for a global economic forum.
Ah, yes the famously left-wing extremists of ... the World Economic Forum.
you got to wonder how far right she actually is to consider Britain is run by left wing "extremists".
Thats assuming she knows what any of those 3 words mean.
When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can't see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.
Hello, and welcome to conservatism. They'll make whatever mouth noises sound like justification for whatever they want, next. Disprove their argument and they'll pick a new one. It has no relation to their conclusion. They don't understand why it should.
They do not evaluate claims. In their worldview, that is not what claims are for. You simply accept or reject them based on interpersonal trust. That is how you perform ingroup loyalty.
And I say "you" because they think you're doing the same thing. They think that's all there is.
There is nothing else in their moral universe.
Liz Truss? Liz Truss the PM whose lasting contribution was going out before a cabbage? That Liz Truss? The Liz Truss who flip-flopped on a major policy that saw her biggest supporter ousted from the Exchequership faster than a head of lettuce rotted? Why the fuck would anyone take her seriously beyond her shelf life?
That would be the Liz Truss that added thousands to everyone's mortgages. It's amazing the shit that the British will take from politicians.
Because her being forced in to significance remains convenient for the puppeteers with their hand up her arse. They still want everything that they told her to do the first time.
There are some "secret" Tories??? All the ones I know are very loud and proud!
I'm afraid she isn't wrong about their existence. People ashamed of their voting. People who don't believe they voted for anything but their own self interest. People whose family and friends "won't understand". Shy Tories have long been a thing.
AKA class traitors.
After what she done, she should be away from public life. Shameless, like all Tories.
"Silent majority" loud, small.
Will her campaign last longer than her role as prime minister?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a speech in the grand surroundings of Westminster's Emmanuel Centre, Ms Truss said successive Tory governments had failed "to stand up for Conservative values".
She told a hall packed with Britain's leading right wingers, including Professor David Starkey and Vote Leave director Matthew Elliott, that the Popular Conservatism movement would challenge "wokery" and, ultimately, "restore faith in democracy".
In broad terms, the Pop Con argument is that Conservatives have been blocked from cutting taxes, cracking down on immigration and doing a lot of other things that they say people want by a network of unelected bodies who are undermining democracy.
Chief among the villains are the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which blocked deportations to Rwanda, and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), which helped sink Ms Truss's "radical" tax cutting programme.
Lee Anderson - who recently resigned as Conservative deputy chairman - took aim at COP 28, adding ordinary voters in his Ashfield constituency did not lie awake at night worrying about whether the UK would meet its net zero targets.
Tory election candidate Mhairi Fraser laid into the "nanny state", including Mr Sunak's "ludicrous" plan to ban cigarette sales.
